It stares at me like a hungry lion catching the eye of a wounded gazelle. It knows that it will have me, it knows that I must surrender to it. I stare off into the distance and see 40 approaching. 21 passed in a drunken haze, 30 I can't remember. But 40 is coming for me.
Don't get me wrong. Its not like its next week or even next month. April 2012 will see me hit the 40. As we all know 40 is the new 30, 30 is the 20 and 20 is the new 10. This probably explains the children drinking in my local and the joy riders getting younger.
But I digress, a friend has set me a challenge. 40 things to do before I turn 40. Like the fool I am I accepted without giving it thought. I immediately started my list
1. Angelina Jolie
2. Jessica Alba
3. Mary Harney
Then it hit me. All three of these visions of beauty are unattainable for me. Even if my wife gave me the "get your leg over free" card, its doubtful I could pry Angelina away from Brad and Mary from the HSE.
So after thinking long and hard about Angelina and Jessica, together, I began to think of things to do before I turn 40. My list is complete and I will post a link to it on here someday for the reader(s) that accidentally stumbled on this site. Wish me luck and if anyone does have Angelina's phone number please e mail it to me.
